    Events Plugin

    Thanks @dnauctions - at $49/month that's a little more than I'm prepared to spend right now. Just this afternoon I've installed http://wp-events-plugin.com/ so I'll see how it goes. Looks fine on first impressions.

    Events Plugin

    Hi What's a decent plugin to add/maintain event listings? It'll be me only adding the events (I think) rather than the end-user adding their own. Am looking for functionality to add local events (summer fairs, local concerts, etc) and would want to specify location, date, details, admission...

    Has anyone done well with regional/geo sites?

    @wonder_lander Been a while since I set one up but it's pretty straightforward. One thought for you though with a relatively high follower count is that you'll possibly hit the mailchimp limit of free emails sent. From memory it's 12,000/month so 1 email a month to 12,000 subscribers; 2 a month...

    Is Bitcoin the Next Big Thing?

    Has anyone done well with regional/geo sites?

    I use https://dlvrit.com/ to auto post to facebook and twitter on a couple of sites. I was pushing out full posts but now only push a heading and snippet. I also use mailchimp (free on my current volume of activity - 711 subscribers) to email out the RSS feed from my site - quite a few readers...

    Has anyone done well with regional/geo sites?

    13K facebook followers for a town pop. of 15K is excellent. Even accounting for people who don't live in Stone but have an interest in it, you've gained an impressive following. Do you pay for any of your news reports - must be time-consuming if you do it all? Is the facebook page driving...

    Wordpress 301 plugin

    I've used the same redirection plugin for years, though only when there's a small number of redirects. Has always worked fine.

    What are your current obsessions?

    I back up via Mac OS time machine to an external HDD. The problem with that is as @Edwin alludes to is that it's not off-site. So what are suitable options? Backblaze at $60/yr Dropbox Apple / Google / Amazon A fireproof safe and a second HDD used in rotation Something else? I value my photos...

    Last Minute.com share certificate

    Certainly worth chasing up the lastminute shares. I bought some shares in a company many years ago. Forgot about them & then found the share certificate. After searching I found the company nearly went bust and was bought out by an American firm. After a few straight-forward emails I managed to...
